PUTRAJAYA CITY – Pagkatapos sa 29th Sea Games, ang national triathlon team ay magpapahinga lamang ng isang linggo at babalik agad sa training para sa iba’t ibang kumpetisyon sa taong ito.
Sa pangunguna nina gold medalists Nikko Bryan Huelgas at Ma-rion Kim Mangrobang, hinakot ng tropa ang da-lawang gintong medalya at dalawang silver me-dals sa 1-2 finish sa men’s at women’s cate-gory na bihirang mangyari sa Sea Games.
“After this (SEA Games), one week rest lang kami then back to the drawing board to set up a master plan for our four triathletes,” sabi ni Triathlon Association of the Philippines (TRAP) secretary general-treasu-rer Tomas Carrasco, Jr.
Ang apat na atleta ng triathlon ay ang pinakamatagumpay sa lahat ng sports disciplines dahil sa kanilang two golds at two silvers haul noong Lunes mula sa 1.5-k swim, 40-k bike at 10-k race sa triathlon event.
Bukod kay Huelgas sa men’s competition at Mangrobang sa women’s, sinungkit nina John Leerams Chicano at Ma. Claire Adorna ang silver medals patunay sa maganda at epektibong programa ng TRAP.
“Kim and Claire will continue their training in Portugal under coach Sergio Santos while Nikko and Rambo (Chicano) will go to Australia and resume training also under a world renowned coach Brett Sutton,”dagdag ni Carrasco na nalampasan na ang 2-gold, 1-silver produksiyon noong 2015 sa Singapore.
“Walang patid ‘yan. Tuluy-tuloy na ang pre-paration namin sa kanila hanggang next year’s (18th) Asian Games (Jakarta, Indonesia), 2019 PHL SEA Games and 2020 Tokyo (Summer) Olympic Games (Japan) with the help of course of the Philippine Sports Commission and hopefully the private sector,” aniya.
